BLACKPINK singer Rosé has opened up about some of the emotions she explores on her upcoming debut album ‘rosie’, including a song that she describes as “disgustingly vulnerable”.
In a new interview with PAPER Magazine, BLACKPINK’s Rosé spoke about some of the upcoming tracks on ‘rosie’, including one that was inspired by hate comments. She spoke about her bad habit of reading “bad comments that’s just going to get into my head” inspired her to write a new song.
“I realised how vulnerable and addicted I was to this [online] world and that craving for feeling like I wanted to be loved and understood,” she said. Rosé shared that the song that came out of it is “so disgustingly vulnerable and honest that people learn that I am a person that goes through these emotions, and I hated that about myself”.
“If anything, it’s something I want to cover up. Even in interviews, I’m like nothing really fazes me, you know? But it does. Every word, every comment, it crushes me,” Rosé admitted.
Elsewhere in the interview, the BLACKPINK star shared that the remaining songs on ‘rosie’ would be more relatable. “I think I’m grateful enough to have gone through a few relationships, you know, like a normal girl in her 20s,” she said.
“I’m probably very relatable if you listen to my songs, and if anyone’s been in that kind of a relationship. It doesn’t even have to be about a boyfriend, just any type of toxic relationship,” shared the singer.
Shortly after announcing the release of ‘rosie’ last month, Rosé gave fans a first taste of the record by dropping the single ‘APT.’ with Bruno Mars. The song has since earned the singer her highest Billboard Hot 100 entry yet.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
